0 Guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 how it happened that "oi you over there" and you choosed the same base, it could be 3,4,5,7,8,9.. but both of you choosed 7... surprising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I'm a little confused by this one, but I get 14.283 if... 6 x 6 = 51 A x A = 51 A^2 = 51 A = 51^(1/2) what is... 6 + 6 = B A + A = B 2A = B therefore... 2(51^(1/2)) = B 14.283 = B maybe?

0 Guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 As much as I love math, I never bothered to learn "base".. can someone please explain to me how a base 6 or base 3 or any base for that matter works? PM me if need be, or email me if you want: parabola949 (at) gmail (dot) com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Base is simply the number of vaules you have to use to make your numbers. For example base 2 (binary) - 0,1 are the only numbers you can use to represent a value base 3 (trinary) - 0,1,2 base 10 (decimal) - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 base 16 (hexadecimal) - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F etc. when working with the values you use the base raised to a power for each digit. So in base 2 a 5 digit number would look like 10010 which equals 1*(2^4) + 0*(2^3) + 0*(2^2) + 1*(2^1)+ 0*(2^0) = 16+2 = 18 The same value in base three would be 200 = 2*(3^2) + 0*(3^1) + 0*(3^0) In hexadecimal it would be 12. Hope that helps. Edited December 3, 2008 by Sloth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 so, my question is this... everyone keeps saying they are using base six...but in base six, there is no six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Prime Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) 15 in base 6, 6 x 6 is 51, and 6 + 6 is 15. The answer looks reasonable but the base is wrong. 6*6 = 51 in base 7. In base 6, number 6 is written as 10 and its square is 100 (same as 10*10 in base 10). So in base 7: 6*6 = 51 and 6+6=15.

If 6x6 = 51
Then what would 6+6 = ?
I thought this may have been what math...ish was about, but it's different.
